I bought this after using Speick Shaving cream which I also bought from Men's Biz due to unavailability of the blue one. I must say that the Active also impressed me as a high quality shaving cream. Honestly, nothing compares with this brand. The quality of this cream provides the user with ability to whisk the lather quickly and of the best consistency. The lather is rich, thick and provides great cushioning and smooth gliding for the razor. I used different shaving cream brands in the past 40 years of my shaving and I am yet to come across a better shaving cream. I am not even comparing it based on its price point. This cream beats them all!

This shave cream is very light, scent-wise, and has a citrus-like scent when compared to the original Speick shave cream. Performance-wise, it's great, just as good as the original. The only aspect I like less than the original, is the tube, I just wish it was metallic instead of the plastic, but this is a minor complaint, and totally subjective. The scent and performance are top notch.

I was worried that moving to a shaving cream would mean I went through it much faster, 6 months since I purchased this I've still got 2/3rds of the tube left.
This shave cream makes it about 10x faster and easier to get the desired foam consistency, something I struggled with when using soap.

Personally, I won't be going back to soap, this shave cream smells great and consistently makes a great lather with little effort.
